How to transfer waypoints, routes, and trails from a Lowrance unit to a Garmin units the simple way.

Lowrance units default to a .USR file format and Garmin defaults to a .ADM file format. In the past you would have to download conversion software for your computer and then hope that works when you transfer that onto the unit.

Both units now can save the files in a .GPX format which is a universal format regardless of manufacturer. Waypoint icons will not transfer as both companies use different ones. Your waypoints and routes will transfer without a problem. If you have long trails you may lose some data on them when you transfer.

If you do not have a unit that exports in the .GPX format you can save the waypoints from your unit in the Version 2.0 format. Then install them on a HDS unit and export them in GPX.
